Purdue University researchers have developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis magnetic fields at high resolution than traditional diamond tips used in scanning probe magnetic-field microscopes.

QuantumDiamonds GmbH, a pioneer in quantum sensing technology, announced the release of the QD m.0, the first commercial quantum device designed for semiconductor chip failure analysis. This advanced system utilizes diamond-based quantum microscopy to deliver unprecedented precision in detecting and localizing faults in integrated circuits, meeting the increasing testing demands for heterogeneous integration in modern semiconductor fabrication.

In a new paper published in Physical Review Research, Tohoku University's Dr. Le Bin Ho explores the effectiveness of the squeezing technique in enhancing the precision of measurements in quantum systems with multiple factors. The analysis provides theoretical and numerical insights, aiding in the identification of mechanisms for achieving maximum precision in these intricate measurements.

Now, researchers from SUO Liumin’s team and LIU Gangqin’s team from Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Science have developed a quantum sensing approach based on diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers.

A breakthrough in quantum technology research could help realise a new generation of precise quantum sensors that can operate at room temperature. The research—carried out by an international team of researchers from the University of Glasgow, Imperial College London, and UNSW Sydney—shows how the quantum states of molecules can be controlled and sensitively detected under ambient conditions.

Bluefors, the world leader in manufacturing cryogenic measurement systems for quantum technology, held the opening for its expanded production facility in Syracuse, New York. This expanded facility will increase the production capacity for its Cryomech-branded cryocoolers, enhance its R&D operations, and enable Bluefors to begin manufacturing dilution refrigerators at the site – for the first time in the USA.

In recent theoretical research, Ge and collaborators Jiru Liu and M. Suhail Zubairy, members of the Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, explored the relationship between the two fundamental resources to quantum physics. They established a single way to quantify the two properties, defining a mathematical description of each. Their paper, “Classical-Nonclassical Polarity of Gaussian States,” was published in the prestigious Physical Review Letters.

Mesa Quantum, an innovative quantum sensing company, announced an oversubscribed seed funding of $3.7M led by J2 Ventures, a Boston-based fund focused on dual-use technologies, with participation from SOSV.

Diamond Quanta, a trailblazer in semiconductor innovation, capitalizing on the exceptional properties of diamond to deliver advanced solutions in power electronics and quantum photonic devices, today announced its selection to join Plug and Play’s prestigious Semiconductor & Photonic Accelerator Program.

Researchers in the Institute for Molecular Science revealed the quantum entanglement between electronic and motional states in their “ultrafast quantum simulator,” generated by the repulsive force due to the strong interaction between Rydberg atoms. They also propose a new quantum simulation method including repulsive force between particles. This achievement is published August 30th in Physical Review Letters.
